Estimated PPD?

[Legend]

What you don't include me? ;-;

(I know, I don't fold as fast as them)

I don't really have any money atm so I won't be done for a while.

at the very minimum, theoretically if someone had already finished setting up their bonus system, it will take me 3 days to get them cowboy.
2 weeks at the max

EDIT:

PS If you combine all the points I've folded up till now, I'd have around 670k, which would rank 12th.

Ordering a computer soon that is supposed to average 45k-60k ppd o:

There's no way in hell that you're going to get anywhere near 300k. You won't even get to 100k with that, sadly. I'd make a nice guess of maybe 50-60k for that, maybe a tiny bit more. However, you are going to run into other problems that I really, really, hope you've thought of. First of all, its a socket G34 CPU. This means that it doesn't come with a heatsink usually. Furthermore, there are very, very few CPU coolers that fit on it, and most of them are meant to be 1U coolers, which means that they are very, very loud. I don't mean loud as in, "oh, thats mildly annoying," I mean you will barely be able to hear yourself think. Also, you have to buy a server motherboard, which will most likely be much more expensive than a regular desktop motherboard, be bigger, and might not even have a graphics card slot, which means you will have to install everything through a terminal, which I hope you know how to do. And even then, you've spent at least $2000 to get maybe 65k ppd, which is a giant waste of money. So go that way if you want to, just be advised that its a dumb idea.

1. If you want to have a dedicated folding machine, look very hard at that list. Folding@Home does not run all that well on AMD hardware, loves high clock speeds, loves a high core/thread count, and isn't very fond of NUMA. Two Opteron 6100s have four NUMA nodes and the fastest officially-selling Opteron 6100s have a top clock speed of only 2.4 GHz and cannot be overclocked. Thus you get a situation where you have a dual Opteron 6168 system scoring roughly 58k ppd, which is what Core i7 970s and 980Xs get with a decent overclock. The top system is an Opteron 6168 system, but it has four CPUs and isn't all that much faster and is certainly more expensive than the #2 system, which is a pair of heavily overclocked six-core Xeons on an EVGA SR-2. Forget the higher-clocked 8-core Opteron 6100s if you want to fold as they cost as much as the low-clocked 12-core ones and don't get as many PPD. There aren't figures for Opteron 6136s on the list, but my estimate is that they'd get somewhere in the upper 30k PPD range.

Sorry but a lot of that info is not correct. Sounds like it was written by an insmell fanboy.

I don't think there's any major differences between AMD and Intel hardware, except for a bit higher performance on current Intel CPUs clock per clock.

You think if I PM'd you the links to the computer i'll be buying soon that you could give me your in-put?

I could certainly do that.
